Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. In a bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp lemon zest, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped dill, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Arrange 4 salmon fillets in the center of the sheet pan. Toss 2 sliced zucchinis, 1 large red bell pepper cut into strips, and 1 cup halved yellow cherry tomatoes in the lemon-dill mixture until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Spread the vegetable medley around the salmon fillets on the sheet pan. Spoon any remaining lemon-dill dressing over the salmon.
  4. Step 4: Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender but still vibrant. Serve hot for a fresh summer main dish.
